Bug 174576

Summary:	make index in ports fails with perl not found error
Product:	Ports & Packages	Reporter:	Carsten Dumke <carsten>
Component:	Individual Port(s)	Assignee:	Bryan Drewery <bdrewery>
Status:	Closed FIXED
Severity:	Affects Only Me
Priority:	Normal
Version:	Latest
Hardware:	Any
OS:	Any

Description Carsten Dumke 2012-12-19 14:50:00 UTC

The base installation does not install perl which is needed for ports "make index"

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin

SHELL=/bin/csh

A "find / -name perl" did not find a perl-environment on the system.

Fix: 

manually install perl from the ports-collection
How-To-Repeat: After a clean installation with cdrom disk 1 (amd64) and all packages selected I login as root and do the following steps:

1. cd /usr/ports
2. make index (with following output)
root@thorin:/usr/ports # make index
Generating INDEX-9 - please wait..perl: not found
"Makefile", line 31: warning: "perl -V:archname" returned non-zero status
perl: not found
 Done.
